Five of Los Angeles' best musicians of 1960, all veterans of the cool jazz scene, are featured on this CD reissue. While the solos are excellent, trumpeter Conte Candoli's six originals (two co-written with pianist Vince Guaraldi) are not particularly memorable. Their chord structures are comfortable for the musicians but none of the melodies will be remembered after the CD ends. Another minus is the brief playing time (under 29 minutes) which makes one wish that the music (originally on a long out of print Crown LP) had been combined with another complementary set. What is here is fine but overall Little Band, Big Jazz, despite the fine playing of Candoli, Guaraldi, tenor saxophonist Buddy Collette, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, and drummer Stan Levey, falls short of being essential. ~ Scott Yanow

Blue Bob
Blue Bob CD  (2003)

Little Band, Big Jazz album
CD $13.29  Audio Samples
Blue Bob, the self-titled debut from director David Lynch and collaborator John Neff's musical project, delivers a moody, edgy, rock-based sound that is similar to the work the duo introduced on the soundtrack to Lynch's brilliant film Mulholland Drive, and is also akin to Thought Gang, the group Lynch formed with composer Angelo Badalamenti for the Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me soundtrack. Not surprisingly, Blue Bob mixes atmospheric, vaguely noir-ish soundscapes with blankly surreal lyrics, creating the musical equivalent of one of Lynch's movies. While he's an inspired director and often a talented musician -- the songs he wrote for Julee Cruise's work on the soundtracks for Blue Velvet and the Twin Peaks TV series and movie, and her own album Floating into the Night, are unsurpassed in their twisted dreaminess -- Blue Bob isn't as consistently successful as some of his other musical endeavors. Most of the pieces here aren't quite as evocative as Lynch and Neff's soundtrack work, but aren't immediate enough to work as rock songs or challenging enough to count as experimental rock or avant-garde compositions; on relatively poppy tracks like the Tom Waits-goes-surf "Rollin' Down," or sprawling instrumentals like "Blue Horse," Lynch and Neff tend to establish a groove and stay in it throughout the length of the track, which is often considerable. That's not to say, however, that Blue Bob doesn't offer quite a few interesting moments. The album opener, "9-1-1," is one of the cheesiest yet weirdest songs about a girl that you're likely to hear ("She's a monster/Call 9-1-1"); likewise, the literally industrial "I Cannot Do That" and "Pink Western Range," which feature "machine percussion" courtesy of Lynch and Neff, mix the banal and the bizarre in a way that possibly only Lynch fans could truly appreciate. Several of the tracks, such as the strangely comedic "Thank You, Judge!," which suggests what a show tune written by Eugène Ionesco might sound like, and "Bad Night," a sketch of a hold-up gone wrong, feel like scenes from movies or plays that were forced to be songs instead. However, the mixed nature of Blue Bob's songwriting isn't as frustrating as the overdependence on John Neff's somewhat limited vocal skills. His raspy, sardonic voice adds an edge to some of ...

Jim Cutler For Real CD  (2005)

Little Band, Big Jazz CD music
CD $12.39
For Real continues the mix of styles and original music that has become the signature of the Jim Cutler Quartet. Most of the music featured on the CD consists of original compositions by Jim, with contributions by pianist Brian Olendorf and bassist Philip Demaree.Since 2000, Jim Cutler (saxophones), Brian Olendorf (piano), Philip Demaree (bass), and Chris Monroe (drums) have focused their efforts to produce their own brand of straight-ahead, mainstream, yet original jazz. For this project Jim has partnered with Greg Williamson of Seattle's Pony Boy Records, marking the group's first release on that local label. The result is another driving, refreshing album that doesn't miss a beat from start to finish.The CD features eleven original compositions; eight written by Jim, one written by Phil and two from Brian. A wide variety of styles are covered. The ...
